SFTP Output
The SFTP Output task sends job files to other computers using a secured FTP protocol. It is
similar to the Send to Folder output task but sends to an FTP connection instead of a local
drive.
The "SFTP Input" on page364 and SFTP Output tasks are part of a separate installer and are
not included in the Workflow installer. The SFTP plugin installer can be downloaded from the
Resource Center, under 'Plugins' in PlanetPress Connect.
Input
Any data file.
Processing
The file is sent to the secure FTP Server and location defined in the task's properties. If the
folder in which the file should be placed doesn't exist, it will be created.
